Zeak, can we revisit that one later....i just tried putting those words in there...from Alexandria fits...but Constantinople doesn't (nicely anyways) <- and it looks like a complete double upso i'd like to revisit that later again please.

Sure thing. I can bug you about this once you're in the main foundry if you want

If they don't fit nicely, then I think the map is better without them.

OK.

Because right now, holding all three will yield a bonus of eight while you only have to protect three borders. I think that is a bit over powered. Instead just call the bonus "European colonies" or something like that and give it a bonus of 6 or so.

Yes i waas thinking along those lines also, and will think more on that one. Thanks for the suggestion, and of you have any more thoughts on the configuration, let me know.

I don't think giving Italy and France a +1bonus IMMEDIATELY for having that ONE territory is such a good idea.

For a player to control Great Britain or Russia , it would take at least 5 rounds depending on competition. All that time having NO extra bonus.Whereas the Italian and French "player" (both close together in the side of the British "player" ONLY(!) can hold it and expand and make it impossible for the british player to collect/conquer his zone. Thereby giving advantage to players around british empire zone to expand without worries.

And what can or did France /Italy do in that Ottoman sphere , really ?

So please leave that +1 bonus out .

Also another unfairness; ALL bonuszones are a wellconnected collection of territories EXCEPT Kuwait of the British empire.To make up for this obvious imbalance you should give a direct seaconnection between Kuwait and Aden.You may even consider giving a direct seaconnection between Br. Somaliland and Sudan (thereby avoiding the need to conquer France an Italy from the earliest onset).

Thanks for your comments It_oddball, i will consider your thoughts on the bonuses.in all fairness the map does say that british ports * connect to each other.

I didnot see the message of the stars...aha..ok , so that is covered

But..that means that Cyprus cannot attack or be attacked directly from south turkey or Beirut ? hmmmm And doesn't that port system mean that someone just having conquered Kuwait from Basrah can jump to Akbah and then onwards to Jeruzalem ?hmmmm ..I don't like this lightning speed...

Yes thanks Qwert. If you look at the first map, you will see names i put there from English map at the time.

I don't want this to get into a battle over naming rights, but am happy to accept (most of) cdkutusu's names on this since it is his country.Elizavetpol -> this is only one region on old maps, Elizavetpol-Baku on my map is two regions.

I am aware that Constantinople spans two continents, but for reasons of space on the map Qwert, it can only be one here.

If you have some link of "authority" that shows these names should be what you state they should be, please advise me.

This is post viewtopic.php?f=241&t=59540&st=0&sk=t&sd=a&start=30#p1521266where cdkutusu (who is turkish) advised of the different names.

I whas to say that you have mix english and turkish all over map,and that why is not correct,you must use english translation for all map,because these is not only Ottoman Empire,you have parts of africa,europe and asia.If you want i can give you more apropriate names.Cdkutus is from turkey,but can not be two mix of turkey terittory-half in english and half in turkey .
